I finally got to sight it in this weekend and I had trouble getting it away from my friend. It put a 3 shot group in less than a 1 inch group. I'm planning on buying some reloading dies for it so I can afford to shoot it more. The factory loads get a little expensive to shoot all the time. It does have pretty good recoil to it, though it is not where you can't shoot it. It feels like shooting magnum loads in a shotgun.
